Understanding the Three
Key Components of
Employee Engagement

2. Today, many global organisations are still struggling to
build the right employee engagement strategy.
Often, this is because they provide short-term
engagement through team-building activities and
generous compensations. And at the end of the day, it
just isn’t enough.
We've listed three critical components of
employee engagement that an organisation needs
to support and maintain a passionate, committed
and inspired workforce.








Introduction

3. Leadership
Managers account for roughly 70% of the variance
in employee engagement scores across business
units, making leadership one of the most critical
components of employee engagement in 2021. On
the one hand, bad managers cost businesses
billions of euros in revenue every year. On the
other hand, a responsible and skilled leader will build
a healthy and meaningful relationship with the team,
motivate them, support their ideas, create a culture
of accountability, and promote open
communication.
So if you’ve hired the wrong leader, the chances of
your employees feeling engaged or inspired
significantly reduces.

4. Rewards and recognition
Recognition is one of the key components of
employee engagement, and research proves that
recognition leads to a 14% increase in employee
productivity and engagement.
When you appreciate employees for their effort, they
are motivated to work harder and achieve more.
So if you want your employees to be engaged, start
by making a recognition program that reflects your
company’s culture, beliefs, and values.

5. Professional growth
According to a LinkedIn survey, 94% of employees
would stay with a company longer if they saw an
improvement in their professional lives.
Over 25% of Millennials and GenZ workers believe
that learning is the top factor contributing to them
feeling happy at work.
These statistics prove that professional growth is an
essential component of employee engagement and
must not be overlooked.

6. How can you help your
employees grow?
There are a few different ways through which you can
help your employees develop new skills and
capabilities. Some of them include:
●Providing training and reading materials
●Signing them up for certification courses
●Providing access to regional conferences.
●Introducing new projects and responsibilities
that push them out of their comfort zone

7. You cannot drive impactful employee engagement
if you don’t understand why your employees are
disengaged in the first place. So identifying the 'why'
is a good place to start.
Further, by implementing these three components
into your business, you can provide your workforce
with 360-degree engagement that will improve their
productivity and contribute to the growth of your
business.
